Karl Alois, Prince Lichnowsky ((ドイツ語:Karl Alois Johann-Nepomuk Vinzenz Leonhard, Fürst Lichnowsky), also known as ''Carl Alois, Fürst von Lichnowsky-Woschütz'') (June 21, 1761〔A-Wstm, Taufbuch Tom. C, p. 287〕 – April 15, 1814), was second Prince Lichnowsky and a Chamberlain at the Imperial Austrian court. He is remembered for his patronage of music and his relationships with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Ludwig van Beethoven. ==Life== He was born in Vienna the eldest son of Count Johann Carl Gottlieb von Lichnowsky and his wife, Countess Carolina von Althann. Although Lichnowsky spent most of his time in Vienna, it was actually in Prussia that he held the title of prince, while his estates were located in Grätz, then in the Silesian province that Prussia had conquered from Austria earlier in the century. The location is today called Hradec nad Moravicí and is within the borders of the Czech Republic.〔Clive 2001, 205〕 In his youth (1776 to 1782) he was a law student, studying in Leipzig and in Göttingen. While in Göttingen he met Johann Nikolaus Forkel, who later was to become famous for writing the first biography of J. S. Bach. Lichnowsky at the time began to collect works by Bach in manuscript copies.〔Grove〕 He also was a musician and a composer. Lichnowsky was married (1788)〔 to the former Maria Christiane Thun, the "beautiful" (Deutsch) daughter of Countess Wilhelmine von Thun.〔Deutsch 1965, 339〕 He was a lodge brother of Mozart; see Mozart and Freemasonry.〔Solomon 1995〕 He died of a stroke in Vienna on 15 April 1814.〔(''Wiener Zeitung'', 20 April 1814, p. 444 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Karl Alois, Prince Lichnowsky」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
